Hi there r-man,
An older fisherman, thank goodness there's yet another one of us. ha ha TubeDude (the moderator) and others should be able to answer your inquiry in more detail. I just accessed www.go-utah.com and found a lot of info on the Unitas lakes, guides, tackle store, etc. The reason I'm mentioning this is because the 'no motor rule' is sometimes applied to gasoline motors and or more specifically to 2-stroke motors. Some lakes here in California allow electric powered trolling motors. These motors nowdays are very powerful as you may be aware.
The weight and weight distribution considerations aside, what make and model of pontoon kickboat did you get? Seems to me at first thought that controling the motor might be more of a hassle than mounting. First thought would be .... if it can't be controlled easily as it is now, would there be a problem side mounting it?
